Played a ton of pins, met a lot of really cool people, and even though I'm exhausted, I could still play some more if I had the chance. They had to turn the power off to get us to leave! What were the highlight tables for you?For me, I really really really enjoyed Earthshaker! Someone had a really nice LED modded version that vibrated my hands off, but wow, what a great table. I hadn't really played it at any great length before this weekend, and now I absolutely cannot wait till they add it (hopefully) to TPA. Aside from the other obvious classics, I also really got into The Party Zone. It's somewhat simple, but has such a great layout, and smooth ramps. I also really dug Pharaoh, it's like a better/more fun version of the Black Knight.  And I finally got to play Gottlieb's Lights... Camera... Action! It had a really funky layout, and a cool interactive animated back glass cutout coupled with these bright red and blue lights above the back glass that really grab your attention. It's definitely one of the most unique tables I've ever seen, I played it a bunch. And last but not least, I found myself skipping the lines to play more popular tables and going back again and again to play... Phantom of the Opera!The layout is really nice & fast with great ramps, and that organ toy is super fun! I only got to a 2 ball multi-ball mode but after peeking at the rule sheet online, I'd like love to take another crack at it again to see what else it has to offer... I guess I'll have to wait till next year...Overall though, I'd say, while the Pacific Pinball Expo offers an unmatched hands on look into the history of pinball and some of it's most exciting pinball tables, that if you're mostly interested in playing the modern stuff (1990 to now) then the California Extreme actually has more to offer. This past years CAX had more than double the number of modern tables available for play than PPE. And again, If I had my choice I'd go to both, but next year, it's going to be a tough decision. Hopefully the Pacific Pinball Museum will get the funds to move to a bigger facility, so it will become a permanent fixture in the bay area.  But I'm thinking next year I might just stick to CAX since it's a bit closer. What did you guys think?</blockquote>
